Description: "In Blood Relations, Janet Adelman confronts her resistance to The Merchant of Venice as both a critic and a Jew. She argues that Shakespeare's play frames the uneasy relationship between Christian and Jew specifically in familial terms in order to recapitulate the vexed familial relationship between Christianity and Judaism."--BOOK JACKET.
